Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. It’s our tradition to host a huge dinner party for our whole family. That’s about 40 people or more. Having such a large event at my house is a big responsibility for us, but everyone helps by bringing food and that makes it really good and fun.
Aunt Jenny brings Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and a smoked turkey (that’s one of three turkeys). Aunt Jenny is friendly, easy going, talks a lot and a little crazy. She has short dark hair with streaked with lots of gray. She is 57 years old. She is plump like a potato herself. Ironically, she grew up in Idaho. She has brown eyes and tanned skin from being outdoors. Aunt Jenny’s favorite hobby is gardening. She’s turned their entire backyard into a garden. She grows vegetables, herbs and flowers. She even puts pansies in her fresh green lettuce salads. She has a waterfall and fish pond. She has a huge chicken coop with 5 or more hen for laying fresh eggs. There’s also a kitchen sink! If that isn’t crazy enough, she’s building an outdoor brick fireplace with a pizza oven. Crazy aunt Jenny’s backyard is located in the middle of Webster. Inside her house is equally as cluttered and she is happy to live in the chaos of her family, her husband Lenny, their 5 kids and all their friends, plus 2 large dogs, 4 cats and several snakes in the boys’ room.
There’s just enough room for her familyShe lives with her has a husband uncle Lenny. he loves soccer and athletics. He is a heart doctor. Together they have five kids named Pat (26), Kevin (24), Bridget (22), Tim (19), and Ryan (17). All of her kids inherited her love for the out doors and uncle Lenny love for soccer and athletics. They are all great soccer players and love to play just about any sport. She is always giving us there hand-me-downs even though only about half of them fit we give the rest of them to charity. Last week we came home from tennis and we found a huge stereo on our back porch that and Jenny left for us. Like I said Ant Jenny is crazy and loving.
Ant Jenny is not the only one who helps with Thanks Giving. On the other side of the family Ant Lisa helps with a lot she brings mashed potatoes and chocolate cake. Ant Lisa is extremely caring and strict. I know your thinking how could some one be both caring and strict, but ant Lisa is truly both. Ant Lisa is plump like Ant Jenny but nothing like her. She is totally up to date and connected withe the internet and Facebook. Ant lisa loves the spot light. Her husband Uncle Brad was a great athlete. They have four kids: Blair (15), Ben (14), Hayden (13), and Katie (10). They all like the spot light like there mom but they are pretty athletic like there dad.
Another Person who brings something is my Granny Fagan. She brings even more mashed potatoes. She is from Ireland and her siblings still live there. Granny un like Ant Jenny and Ant Lisa is very skinny. She has gray hair and wrinkles, but is very energetic and caring. She is 82 years old and still plays tennis, and 5 years ago she tried to water ski. A few days ago she came over to our house and said that she needed to learn how to run again. Granny will always care for you when you are sick. Maybe that is why she was a nurse she is mother to five kids one being my dad and then Uncle Lenny, Uncle Brian, Ant Marry, and Uncle Mark. One thing that granny is bad about is driving she got in a car crash once and her car had to go in to repair so she rented a car. When she was returning the rent-a-car she rammed it in to there building. So another job for some one to do at Thanks Giving is to drive her to and from our house which is usually taken care of by Tim.
Probably the people that help the most at thanks giving is BB and Papa, my moms parents.They bring apple pie, pumpkin pie, turkey. They also help set up and take down all of the festivities. BB is strict by very loving. She has short gray hair and Wheres her pants up to high. BB will never break a rule and she will never let anyone break a rule. BB is very loving and will always take care of you. Like last time when I was sick she made me a whole cake because she thought it would make me feel better. Papa BBs husband has short gray hair and is light skinned. Is generous and intelligent. he is very generous when my brother and I were little my parents would go out of town and we would go to there house, Papa would always get us something when they were gone. Papa is also intelligent he is a successful business man and owns his own company “Smith Bollinger”.
The other people who help us with Thanks Giving is my immediate family my mom, dad, case, and of course me. My mom makes some pies, my dad makes the turkey, Case helps with the lawn, and I help set the table and help my brother with the lawn. Dad has light skin and brown eyes. Dad is smart and generous. He is an orthopedic surgeon. Dad he gives to everyone and always helps people thats why he is a doctor. Mom has dirty blond hair and green eyes. She is kind and caring. Mom always cares for us when we are not feeling good. She also remembers your birthday and any other holiday. Case has blond hair and brown eyes. He is clumsy but friendly. He will drop at lease one thing during every meal. He has never met a stranger he is friends with everyone. He is more talkative than the rest of us - talkative friendly clumsy. I have Brown hair and green eyes. I am athletic and friendly. I love sports especially tennis and soccer I play them almost every day. Another thing I like to do is to hang out with my friends at school and out of school. I also love being with family. Especially at thanks giving.
